Just returned yesterday from STJ. We spent time at many beaches and did the NPS Reef Bay Trail hike. The only bites we got were from the mosquitoes that were in our condo...

I think anything you take in a 3 oz. bottle has to be the original bottle for the product. I don't think you can use those little travel size clear bottles any more.
I don't believe there is anything on the TSA sight that prohibits this.

You are absolutely right! I stand corrected! Here's a copy and paste from the TSA website:


Air travelers may now carry liquids, gels and aerosols in their carry-on bag when going through security checkpoints.

With certain exceptions for prescription and over-the-counter medicines, baby formula and breast milk, and other essential liquids, gels, and aerosols, the following rules apply to all liquids, gels, and aerosols you want to carry through a security checkpoint.

All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in three-ounce or smaller containers. Larger containers that are half-full or toothpaste tubes rolled up are not allowed. Each container must be three ounces or smaller.

All liquids, gels and aerosols must be placed in a single, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. Gallon size bags or bags that are not zip-top such as fold-over sandwich bags are not allowed. Each traveler can use only one, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag.

Each traveler must remove their quart-sized plastic, zip-top bag from their carry-on and place it in a bin or on the conveyor belt for X-ray screening. X-raying separately will allow TSA security officers to more easily examine the declared items.

I was thinking the only thing that HAD to be in original containers was medication. Prescription and non-prescription.
